Junit + getResourceAsStream Returning Null

Question

Not sure how this is possible. I re-read up on getResourceAsStream and it\'s always returning null.

InputStream source = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem with a Spring class. System.class.getResourceAsStream(...) worked in unit tests but not in Tomcat, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(...) worked in Tomcat but not in unit tests.

Ulitimately I went with:

ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()
    .getResourceAsStream("com/example/mail/templates/invoice-past-due.html"))

I also found that once I did it this way, I did not need to have the path starting with a slash.
